Manchester City defender Micah Richards says he is determined to
succeed Gary Neville as England's first-choice right-back.
Manchester United man Neville has made the right-back berth his own
and there are no signs that he is ready to relinquish the
role.
Richards expects Neville to get the nod for a couple more years,
but is determined to push him hard and take on the role when he
does retire.
"I know Gary Neville is a legend and he'll be doing it for a few
years yet," said Richards.
"But hopefully when the time's right and he's ready to hang up his
boots, I'll be there to take over."
Richards made his debut against Holland in November and feels he
did enough to merit a call for next month's clash with Spain.
"I had my chance against Holland and thought I did enough to get a
recall for next month's game against Spain," added the
18-year-old.
